Bonus Book For This Top Self Improvement Books List
Steve Jobs
This book is one of “the must have” top self improvement books for sure. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
Vasilis – All I can say is, WOW. This is a very long book, as well as it should be. However, it was never boring, and I was sad when I finished it. Extremely well written, and flows very well. It touches on every aspect of his life, not just his career at Apple, Pixar, etc. The stories of his meetings and negotiations with titans of business and politics are priceless. I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
